IKEA has condemned the actions of a woman who gave the DIY trend new meaning while checking out beds and sofas in a store showroom.

The homeware and flat-pack company has been forced to tighten security in its stores in China after pornographic footage showed the woman pleasuring herself in a furniture showroom, The Daily Mail reported.

The clip shows a half-naked woman performing the sex act on beds and sofas while people in the background continue shopping, oblivious to her actions.

Censors have removed the explicit video from Chinese social media, but IKEA’s response to the clip is attracting its own following with more than 9 million views.

“We resolutely oppose and condemn this kind of behaviour, and immediately reported it to the police in the city of the suspected store,” IKEA said in a statement, without revealing the location of the store.

The company said it would take “even more careful security and public cleanliness measures” in stores and encouraged its customers to “browse stores in an orderly and civilised way”.

Some social media users who studied the clip before it was removed suggested the store could be in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong because they could hear Cantonese being spoken in the background.

They also pointed out that the oblivious shoppers in the video weren’t wearing masks, which put the timing of it before January when the country was embroiled in the coronavirus outbreak.

This is not the first time an explicit video has managed to slip past China’s censors, with a clip of a couple having sex in a Beijing branch of Uniqlo going viral in 2015.
